Draw a line segment of length 7 cm. Find a point P on it which divides it in the ratio 3:5.
उत्तर
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment, AB = 7 cm.
- Draw a ray, AX, making an acute angle downward with AB.
- Mark the points A1, A2, A3 ... A8 on AX.
- Mark the points such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 = ....., A7A8.
- Join BA8.
- Draw a line parallel to BA8 through the point A3, to meet AB on P.
Hence, AP : PB = 3 : 5

If the point P (6, 7) divides the segment joining A(8, 9) and B(1, 2) in some ratio, find that ratio
Solution:
Point P divides segment AB in the ratio m: n.
A(8, 9) = (x1, y1), B(1, 2 ) = (x2, y2) and P(6, 7) = (x, y)
Using Section formula of internal division,
∴ 7 = `("m"(square) - "n"(9))/("m" + "n")`
∴ 7m + 7n = `square` + 9n
∴ 7m – `square` = 9n – `square`
∴ `square` = 2n
∴ `"m"/"n" = square`
